Inside The Coolest Camp on The Planet
Over the past couple years, I’ve researched A LOT about Antarctica and about this race - the Ice Marathon 100k. I’ve learned a ton, but I realized I never shared much about the facilities or where the race actually takes place. And I screwed up. Because back in the day, they were basically wooden huts with men hardening up and dealing with it and yelling, “RUB SOME SNOW IN IT” any time they got hurt and fixed “being cold” by becoming numb and ...
Antarctica: A Photo Essay
After 4 days in Antarctica, I'm back. I spent 2 of those days basically running through the night and while it was light 24 hours (so it didn't seem like night), it's weird coming into the main camp tent to change clothes 10 hours in a race and seeing people sit down to eat breakfast when it feels like you've been up for a day. This trip was really special to me - partly because in the back of my mind, I sort of thought I'd never actually make it to ...

My Packing List for Antarctica
I just got back from doing a pre-flight departure meeting last night. Today, I’m flying out to Antarctica. I’m half excited and half terrified. I’m 100% packed and really don’t know what to expect, but according to our packing lists, I’m theoretically prepared (although I'm not sure how prepared you can be until you show up). I travel pretty minimally and pride myself on the fact that I don’t have a bunch of “stuff”, but for something like ...
The Narrabeen All Nighter – Running 12 Hours Through The New Year
http://www.instagram.com/p/BO4LJwbF1Z4/?taken-by=joelrunyon I looked at the menu at the hotel restaurant trying to figure out what to eat for dinner. I arrived in Narrabeen, Australia about 48 hours earlier, and after a few bad “I’ve narra been” to this place before” jokes, everything was going good. Except for this decision…. What do you eat before an evening race? I haven’t run an evening race…maybe…ever? I thought about the race ...

My Top Goals for 2017
Every year, I try to share a few things that I’m going to knock off my Impossible List and challenge myself with in the new year. Over the years, I’ve added to it to include my business and my life and wanted to lay out some goals for the new year and what’s coming up next: Fitness Finish 777. This is first and foremost and I want to do it without any more injuries. It’s going to be tough, but I can definitely do it. I just need to take care of ...
2016 Annual Review
I’m a little late to the game this year with my year-end review, but I wanted to continue the tradition of looking back on each year. I’ve done it every year at IMPOSSIBLE (except last year) for a few specific reasons which I’ll dive into in a bit, but I wanted to get things back on track this year. What Didn’t Go Well? I got Sued (or rather - I continued getting sued) One of the reasons I didn’t do any end-of-year reviews last year was ...
